Collateral (2004)
1 easter egg
Directed by: Michael Mann
Starring: Tom Cruise, Mark Ruffalo, Jamie Foxx, Jada Pinkett Smith
Other mistake: In the scene where they're loading Tom Cruise's first victim into the trunk, as Max lifts at the arms you can see the "dead" guy holding onto Max's forearms. (00:20:55)
Trivia: The film was almost entirely shot in high definition. Director Michael Mann states he did this to capture the night scenes more vividly.

I believe it refers to the fact that Collateral is considered to be the first major movie to use a digital camera, not the traditional film support.
Answer: The coyote may be a metaphor for Vincent's life. A lone predator lost in a world that doesn't understand him.
Answer: In many Native American cultures, seeing a coyote cross the road ahead of you means bad luck. So I think he knows everything is going to go south.
